The arrests have created the greatest
excitement among the railroad en-
ployees Of this city. The scenes about
the Jail doors this morning, where the
relatives of the prisoners had gathered
To learn the causes Of their arrest. were
of the saddest description. Wives,
children, parents, brothers, and sisters,
with tear-stained Aces, stood around
the entrance 10 the prison eager to hear
the latest development, and pleading
with the officers for admission to tho
jail 10 see the prisoners. AT O'Clock
ten more men were captured at the pay
car while receiving their wages. This
makes a total Of ffty-six men III
Jail here, and it is supposed that
as many more have been apprehended
at other points along the line. Con-
steination prevails among the proprie-
tons OF fences and dens where the goods
were secreted and sold. In one instance
the proprietor Of notorious den was
detected in the act Of burning the stolen
property. Nearly 200 warrants are stili
out, and it is expected that the list OF
arrests in this city will be sgeiled
10 eighty tonight. A number OF
houses in various parts OF the city
were rsided to-day and large quall-

arrested had stolen goods somewhere.
Among the prisoners are several despe-

The so-called Estillette committee, of
st. Landry parish, failed to materialize
when the committee on harmony went
to Opelousas last week, and thereby
confessed itself a fraud. The Litteil
men waited on the visitors and did
everything in their power to facilitate
their labors. In view Of the failure of
the Estillette committee to come up to
the scratch, the only thing left for the
harmony committee to do was to order
a primary election of Democrats for
Nov. 81, to elect delegates to a parish
convention to assemble at Opelousas
Nov. "a, which in turn would select a
new parish executive committee. This
will knock the stuffing out of the ''regu-
larity" of the Estilette juncta, and it has
no other support to stand upon Baton
Rouge Truth.

You cannot afford to waste time in
experimenting when your lungs are in

first, only q cold. DO not permit any
dealer to impose upon You with some
cheap imitation of Dr. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, but be sure you get the genu-
inc. Because he can make more profit
he may tell you he has something just
as good, or just the same. Don't be de-

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won-
tlelful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passaSes, but the thousands
OF little tubes and cavities leading from

When these are clOgged and chobcd
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half DO them
work And what they DO, they cannot
do Wei.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia
Catarrb, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head AMI
lung distractions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid Of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. THAT
is to take BoscLce's German SyIuD,

We have been shown letter OF re-
cent date from Hon. n. C. Blanchard, OF
Shreveport, to a gentleman Of this town
in which he says:
Gov. McEnery, in one of his speeches
in this section, defends bis failure to APP
point the police jurors OF your parish

under the tOntenOt agreement, on Tue
ground that the parties elected were he
publicans and he would not appoint
them for that reason"
This is a freshly invented preteXt on
the part of Governor McEnery that
lacks the essential element of truth.

are DR.. r. II. Littell, President of the
Democratic Executive Committee of

Hon. Boiling Williams, of Desoto, in
a communication to the Picayune, says
of the Nichols Caucus held in New
Orleans during the session of the State
Central Committee:
"Another thing was fully agreed up-
on when the State Convention meets.
If we have a majority of delegates
squarely elected, no chicanerv, trickerv,
contests or returning board methods
will avail the third termers' to prevent
seating:duly elected delegates"
This sort of talk suits st. Landry
Democrats exactly. Let it be distinct
~ understood that no worse evil can
befall the Democratic party than the
voluntary submission to fraud or trick
erv.

Gov. McEnery and his friend Senator
Eustis who, it is alleged, purchased his
seat in the I. S. Senate by bribing two
negroes who had been introduced into
a Democratic legislative caucus for that
purpose, came out strongly in their
Monroe speeches in favor of a white
mans government. A white mans
government, as they seem to understand
it, needs explanation. The manner of
Mr.. Eustis' election shows what he
means by a white mans government.
He is the white man that is to do the
governing; and if the white men will
not put him in a place of authority, he
will bride negroes to do it. In Gov.
McEnery's home parish, Ouachita, the
Democratic mass-meetiDgs are packed
by unwilling and intimidated negroes,
who are made to nominate candidates
for the white Democrats to vote for
this is one phase of the McEDery idea of
white mans government. In Tensas
parish, where there are two or three
hundred white votes and over three
thousand colored votes, the latter were
fraudulently used to saddle upon the
unwilling white taxpayers of the State
a tax of $4,000 year for fifteen years
this is another phase of the McEnery
idea of O white mans government.
Now, by virtue of this same fraudulent
colored vote, Tensas parish has nine
teen delegates in the State Democratic
convention that will meet at Baton
Rouge January 10th, to nominate Gov
ernor and other State officers this is a
larger number of delegates than anv
other parish or any ward in New Or
leans has, with their comparatively
large white population; this large and
fraudulent delegation will vote to NOM
mate McEnery for Governor-this is
still another phase of the McEnery idea
of white mans government.
McEnery and his ring men must rule
if the white people are not willias to it,
they will overrun them with the ne
Rroes.

have kilograms from this parish and
Acadia complaining that the Nichols
men or Reformers would not vote for

delegates from this parish were kicked
out of the congressional convention.
that was equivalent to telling the Dem
ocrats who sent them there that their
votes were not wanted. But Nichols
men did vote at the election. What
were the McEneryitcs doing that they
did not poll more votes Do they ad-
NIT that they are only two or three
hundred strong in this parish, and less

LOOK OUT, BRAWLERS!
The New Code Penalties for Disturbing
the Peace, and Kindred Offeuses.

The New Code Penalties for Disturbing
the Peace, and Kindred Offsuses.
The new code is rather severe on
brawlers, as the following extracts
show:
SECTION $3.50. Every person who
msliciously and willfully disturbs the
peace or quiet of any neighborhood,
family, or person, by loud or unusual
noise, or by tumultuous or offensive
conduct, or by threatening, traducing,
qusrreling, challenging to fight, or
lighting, or who, on the public streets
of any unincorporated town or village,
or upon the public highways in such
unincorporated towns or villages,
runs any horse race, either for wager
or for amusement, or fires any gun or
pistol in such unincorporated town or
village, or uses any vulgar, profane or
indecent language within the presenc
or hearing Of women or children, in a
loud or boisterous manner, is guilty
OF a misdemeanor.
Sec. 6313. Except in cases where
different punishment is provided by
tits code, every otfense declared to be
q misdemeanor is punishable By i'm
prlsonrent in a county Jail not ex.
ceeding six months, or by q fine not
exceeding $500. or both.
The penalty is sufficiently severe.
But the trouble is that habitual brawl-
ers, either through the connivance or
neglect of the authorities, will 60 un.
whipt of justice, while some peaceful,
law-abiding citizen, who may be
caught in q row which he did all he
could to avoid, will be punished to
full! extent OF the law.

Vandalism.

The charivari party at the upper
end of town, last night, carried things
with a high hand. They followed the
supposed bride to the residence Of
Professor Miner, where they broke in
door, also several panes of glass,
and used the foulest language imag-
Unable. This they kept up, together
with the blowing of horns, beating OF
tin pans, coal oil cans, and so forth,
for over an hour.
This is carrying things so far that
it is to be hoped an example will be
made of the young fellows engaged
in the disreputable proceeding.
